Reformed Rocket ✝️

@BishopJaxi @TDisputations 1) your position posits you can lose your salvation 2) your position posits that in order to keep or get back into a state of grace requires works. That is his (poorly stated) point

This is objectively false and directly contradicted by the Catechism. “Since the initiative belongs to God in the order of grace, no one can merit the initial grace of forgiveness and justification.” (CCC 2010) “No one can merit the grace which is at the origin of conversion.” (CCC 2027) “The grace of Christ is the gratuitous gift that God makes to us of his own life.” (CCC 1999) Catholicism does not teach “save yourself.” It teaches that salvation is entirely initiated by God’s grace through Christ, and that Christians must cooperate with the grace they receive. AND… that cooperation is all by God’s grace. Patrick is a liar, was never Catholic, and has no clue what he is talking about. Yet, charges people hundreds of dollars for people to hear is uneducated opinion. Protestantism is a circus.

@CombatJoe1010 Cool. Now do the Marian and papal dogmas.

Sola Scriptura is NO WHERE in any Bible ever. It’s 16th century man-made lie, which is no different than the 19th century lies of Mormonism and Jehovahs Witnesses.

@KCKTiger @PapistPilled Is there anything which offends you personally or to which you would respond negatively?

@PapistPilled Why are Christians such snowflakes?

Jensen’s character called St. Joseph “the biggest cuck in history” and went on to blaspheme Christ but this was the scene that crossed the line for him…. That’s Hollywood for ya

@JuanasFabricias Well, that isn’t the case, so…

Would you still be a Christian knowing that Christianity was mostly spread by sword and Europe, after adopting it, entered a Thousand-year Dark Ages that completely hindered scientific advancement?

@memeswalla_ Technically it would by cyclops as his “vision” isn’t vision, his eyes are basically a portal to another dimension out of which the beams flow.

According to you, who has the strongest heat vision? 👁️🔥 • Superman • Homelander • Cyclops • Darkseid • Ikaris

@ThoughtfulSaint @Protestia You don’t know what begging the question is do you?

Archeologist: “Hey guys we found one of the lost writings of Paul. It contains another beautiful witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ” @Protestia : if it’s another testament of Jesus Christ then it must be false. Have you not read Gal 1:8? 😂

@zicobarre Fun fact…he can’t be arrested for this. He was simply exercising his rights. Not the guy who may be guilty, but His own rights. If it’s his house he can do this

He told the police to come back with a judicial warrant before stepping into his home. Knowing your rights can make all the difference.

@irenicalprot @firstthesisstan But, but! I heard Protestants don’t believe in the need for repentance? I heard we are all just free gracers, unconcerned with holiness!

F. Turretin on the need of a new justification or particular remission of sins:

@KickPistons Yeah. No Christian anywhere for the first few centuries would recognize the abomination that is Rome and the papacy today.

Protestants claim continuity with the first Christians but the truth is that the first Christians wouldn't have recognized or accepted them as such and would have been shocked or perplexed by many of their beliefs - especially their beliefs about what makes someone a Christian.

@KickPistons People were saved before it was instituted. And after it was instituted without it. Dont over cook the grits.

Jesus instituted Baptism for salvation, the Eucharist for spiritual life, and Confession for forgiveness. The Catholic Church made those sacraments as available as possible to as many people as possible. The Reformation denied them and convinced millions to not believe in them.

@KickPistons @dumbwaiterwaits @LogosFunction His whole thesis is one of development. That was the point

@NiceanRick @dumbwaiterwaits @LogosFunction If Newman disagreed with this, he would have remained an Anglican.

Catholics don't place the Church "over" the Bible. We just believe that the Church outranks you in all matters Biblical. When there's a disagreement between you and the Church regarding what the Bible really teaches, the Church's pronouncement carries more weight than yours.

@DustinAshWrites He is in Christ. He has been baptized in the Triune name of God, and trusts in Christ for His salvation. Cope and seethe.

Wes Huff can only be saved through the Catholic Church

@dumbwaiterwaits @LogosFunction @KickPistons Newman would disagree.

@LogosFunction @KickPistons @NiceanRick Not in matters of faith & morals. Nothing there has changed in nearly two millennia

@KickPistons Clear promises of indefectibility…which is the very matter in dispute here. It wasn’t “clear.”

@NiceanRick I've no interest in worshipping a god who -having become man, died, rose, founded a church with authority invested in the men who encountered Him risen, and given it clear promises of indefectibility- would be so sloppy as to then allow that same church to be "wrong on a matter."

@Joel7Richardson @DPGBehler I had to look that one up again…you seriously think Gregg won?

@DPGBehler Listening to White debate Steve Gregg was painful.

Michael Heiser on why he was never going to debate James White on Psalm 82, and I think he makes a really good point that exposes White’s scholarship.

@garrettham_esq Minus three. See one

So everything should be submitted to Scripture, not because Scripture is by its very nature the ultimate authority, but because Scripture is the only reliable record of the ultimate authority (i.e. apostolic teaching) that we can identify with confidence. 6/

Sola scriptura is a hot topic on here, and most of the Protestant arguments I come across are pretty bad. I'm Catholic, but I trained to be an evangelical minister before joining the Church. So I'd like to present a steelman for the other side. I welcome Protestant feedback. 1/

@garrettham_esq But obviously the Spirit inspired the apostles and Paul TO write down what he taught as well as more. So, minus two

Obviously, Jesus and the apostles didn't write down everything they taught, so there have to be authentic teachings of Christ and the apostles that aren't in Scripture. Rediscovering any such teachings with absolute certainty, however, is impossible. 3/

@garrettham_esq It’s by its nature as God’s own words breathed out. Minus one so far

Sola scriptura isn't an ontological claim, it's an epistemological one. It's not that Scripture is the ultimate authority by its very nature. The teachings of Christ and his apostles are. Scripture, however, is the only reliable record we have of that ultimate authority. 2/

@CatholicDrip___ Yeah yeah. And when pressed on sacred tradition yall say “well it isn’t this, it is that…” blah blah blah

None of that is in the Bible, yet Bible only Protestants believe it. Why???? It’s Sacred Oral Tradition passed down by the Catholic Church. 😂💧
